Donna Murphy and WT???? What is going on??

Posted: 8/21/04 at 3:35pm

Quite frankly i am utterly confused...
i know that there was press release saying
that Donna is leaving, but what is this talk
about Wonderful Town closing???

is it really true that it will be closing the
end of this month???

I am not myself, but i become a character in itself, to only hope that my transformation is not of me, but of whom i characterize myself to be..

Brooke Shields is replacing her.

but i have read on the other boards
that the show is closing Aug. 29th.

does anyone know this for a fact?

alright, i give up.
Donna is leaving, Brooke is replacing
What a nightmare, but to continue.

Does anyone know when Gregg Edelman will
be leaving the show? and Jennifer Westfeldt
has a new tv gig going on, so i guess the WT
Cast is splitting up.

Sad, Sad.

Why is this sad? The show has been open for months and these people are doing the same thing over and over and over again. It gets old. They move on to different things. Your idol will be back in another show soon enough.

Avalon, what do you think happens? Shows run forever, with the original casts staying until death?

In response to Avalon, Gregg Edelman is taking a few weeks off in sept and oct to do perform at Carnegie Hall in a new Sondheim review. I don't know how much longer he plans to stay but he doesn't seem to be leaving for good just yet.

to rathnait and matt_g:
don't think i dont know how
a show works, i understand that the original
cast cant be in it forever.

i just am kinda disappointed in the choice of
replacement.

thanks musicgal04 for answering my question.
Gregg Edelman is doing that Carnegie Hall show with
his wife Carolee Carmello right?

I can't see Brooke Shields in that role either.

Yes, Gregg Edelman is doing the Sondheim show "Opening Doors" with his wife Carolee Carmello.

Actually, Carolee Carmello isn't doing Opening Doors any more. I don't know if they've found a replacement yet.

Guess that is how some people want it to work these days...

But why oh why Brooke Shields? I was hoping to this again but I don't think that is gonna happen.

They should have gotten Kirstie Alley for Ruth Sherwood.

Have you see Kirstie Alley lately? Think of the conga line boys who would have to lift her.
